As my lovely & dear friend, Miss Shelley over at Mass for Shut-Ins reported to us previously, Old Style {my fave beer...I know, I know} is going 'new-style.' You can read more about it on her blog. Well, I've been well-aware of this fact, but the supply has continued to be abundant at my local grocer.

Until this weekend, that is.Yes, that is a lonely, empty spot where mybeloved Old Style Lightused to wait patiently to be picked up by yours truly.

{Conor, mourning the loss.}

So that sucked.

But then, wonderful news!My frequently mentioned friend Shelley {you know Shel, right?!} called with the news that she had purchased 96 elusive OLD Old Styles. So happy.I ♥ you Shel.♥

At least it's Friday, so Conor & I are lucky enough to get to eat atShuck's Oyster Bar here in Omaha. They are owned by a co. {Absolutely Fresh Seafood} that get their fishies flown in daily, so it's quite the delicious treat for a Midwesterner. And SO worth the trip to West Omaha {which I avoid like the plague...think, suburban sprawl}.

We are not Catholics, we just like an excuse to eat great fish.{Pretty Pruning Via Coco+Kelley}Well, regardless of the fact that I will not be enjoying any outdoor activities this weekend due to the chilly temps, I will, in fact be relaxing just the same.Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

I love them. They are much more colourful than this picture indicates. But, one slight alteration I would like to make? Well, I saw this photo on Miss Muffy Martini's blog...

What & how would be the best way to go about adding this touch of sparkle to my already lovely shoe? I'm guessing clip-on earrings or something? Am I in the ballpark, girls? I want my shoes to be more exciting.

{So colorful!}When I think of summer foods, pasta salad is one that comes to mind.Especially as a accent to grilling out. So, when I was trying to decide what to bring to my sister's house for dinner tomorrow, I instantly thought, pasta salad!

{Mix it all together...}

What do you put in your pasta salad?

When I lived with some sorority sisters we made pasta salad A L L the time. The girls introduced me to adding cheese & pepperoni. You know, to make it healthy. Otherwise, I go with a pretty standard recipe...

{Tri-color NOODLES!}

My veggies of choice are celery, radishes, cucumbers, black olives {my fave!}, carrots, and red peppers. Then in go the pepperoni & cheese. I also boiled some eggs & added them {protein...wow, this is like a meal}. I used a Kraft Casesar Parmesan Vinagrette dressing this time & must say it's pretty tasty. Tomorrow I will add my grape tomatoes {I like them nice & fresh}, and voila! Finito!{All packed up & ready to go.}

It's nice. He doesn't notice, but I do. Especially when he comes home from working in the pharmacy. Perhaps it's thebins of Easter candy on display around the counter. The candy descends upon & marks him with it's sugary scent. He denies this all {of course}.

Alright girls, I am in need of your assistance. As I mentioned before, a very lovely friend of mine is getting married. There will be 6 bridesmaids in all, & she'd really like if we could all wear a different color pump. The dress color is still up in the air {either white or navy...more of that later} but accents will be fuchsia, lime green, & orange...your basic Springy, bright colors.

We decided we would do 2 girls in each color. 2 green, 2 pink, etc. Have any of you worn bright pumps for weddings or other parties? I'm having trouble finding choices. Especially G R E E N shoes. They seem to be nonexistent, & one bridesmaid is really jonesing for green.{Via Zappos}

These 2 are just an example of what we've liked so far. I think I may have to break the news to her that pink may be the only way to go. I love the red ones though {perhaps they will have to be a separate purchase?}

I also found these, which go perfectly with her idea of wanting navy shoes for herself...

You are all such a sweet, lovely people & your wishes made my day much more special! I wish I was able to thank each & every one of you in person with a big cupcake...how about if you all just run out toCold Stone& get yourself one of those delectable looking cupcakes?Yum!

The weather is totally gorgeous here in Nebraska, which is the perfect post-birthday gift. I hope it sticks around, but I won't keep my fingers crossed, it is only March, after all.

It gets me thinking about Spring clothes..I'm taking full advantage today by wearing lilac,turquoise, & yellow. It feels nice. {I would also die to wear any of these gorgeous Millydresses as well.}{all from Bloomingdale's}♥

{photo via Happy Happy}My birthday is tomorrow, but with 3 midterms{2 on Wed. alone} & 2 papers due this week, I shall not be celebrating with a blow-out party. Tonight is Eggs Bennie w/Conor, then off to the local watering hole to see our friends' band I spoke of last week {show #2 in 2 weeks!}.{Ladyfinger (ne) last weekend at Slowdown}Birthdays during midterms = Bummer.Nothing better than spending your day studying. When I turned 21 I went to a Creighton basketball game with my parents. All my friends were studying. I was pretty much a badass. You're jealous, admit it.

Now, I'm off to read some Psych & drink some wine.Happy early birthday to me!♥
